Thierry Henry has tipped Anthony Martial to become world class, claiming the Manchester United forward is already better than he was aged 21.
Martial has already racked up five goals and six assists in his first nine appearances of the season for Jose Mourinho's side.
The France forward's pace and skill drew immediate comparisons to his compatriot, Henry, following his own big-money move to England from Monaco in 2015.
And Henry, who scored 175 goals, during his eight-year stay at Arsenal, believes Martial has shown enough to suggest he can reach the very top of the game.
‘Anthony Martial is a far better player than I was at that age,’ said Henry. ‘He can become a world-class player.’
Martial shone as United beat CSKA Moscow 4-1 to continue their perfect record in this season's Champions League.
But it came as a cost as he limped off with a thigh injury. The 21-year-old came off the bench during their 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace and was left out of Didier Deschamps' France squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
